Michael Miller is "the smartest guest we have ever had" (Joe).  He is the producer of the film The Poverty Cure, (povertycure.org), Director / Producer of Poverty, Inc. Senior Research Fellow, Acton Institute.In this episode we tackle the difficult questions surrounding poverty and how the solutions may be found in commerse rather than simply charity.  Big Ideas and Quotes:4:12 We ask the wrong question, "why is there poverty, but the real question is why is there wealth?"Ways we think about povertyWe tend to treat poor people like objects... instead of treating poor people like subjects.  "we are not subjects to be manipulated, we are subjects to be respected"We've replaced charity with humanitarianism.  "Love is not just a feeling that we feel, love is the intentional willing of the good of the other person".  "Humanitariansim doesn't thing so much about the human flourishing of the person, it provides comfort"12:05 "When we operate from a bad model, we do activities that actually harm the poor and disrespect the poor instead of partnering with the poor and treating them as we would want to be treated."

Let’s pray today for our nation – and everyone in it. Pray for each of the 50 states, 435 Congresssional districts, and 3141 counties. Okay, maybe that’s too much! Pray for the 87 counties in Minnesota (or your home state) – pray for each of them and the people who live in those counties and the public servants who work there. Pray for the poll workers and the county commissioners and the judges, the members of the school board and the mayors. Pray today for members of Congress and the people whose jobs are tied to the jobs of those who will be elected today and all those whose jobs are tied to those who will not win. Have you ever run for anything? (You’ll have to listen to the audio for the story I tell about losing an election to Michael Maddux in 9th grade!). Conversations in this episode include Justin Giboney from AndCampaign.org and Michael Matheson Miller from PovertyCure.org https://nwmedia-ondemand.streamguys1.com/mornings-with-carmen/20201103094010-11-03-2020-Mornings-with-Carmen-HR2.mp3 The post Pray for your precinct | What might MLK say and do on this election day? | The Poverty Cure with Michael Matheson Miller appeared first on The Reconnect with Carmen | Engaging Culture from a Christian Worldview.
